2.9 Plurals

Plurals

In Persian Language we add  the suffix ها to the noun to make it plural. there is also suffix ان only for some animates.

All the nouns can be in plural form even the uncountable nouns.

Note: if the word ends with long vowels:آ / او/ای then we insert ی  before ان:   example: اقا becomes آقایان in plural form.

Note: when you add adjective to the plural noun ,  ی is inserted to connect noun and adjective together ( Ezafe connector).

Examples:     کتاب ها + خوب = کتاب های خوب

Note: Generic nouns are in singular forms.

Example:        من کتاب دوست دارم    I like books.

Note: In Persian Language a plural noun is considered ” specific” unless it had a suffix /i/ .

Example:  کتاب های
